Before meeting Wu Jinghan, Mu Xu Ci had never imagined he would fall for anyone. He had little interest in romance and had pictured himself growing old alone countless times.
Wu Jinghan transferred into Mu Xu Ci's class during their sophomore year, and their teacher assigned them to the same dorm room.
When Mu Xu Ci first saw him, his first thought was that his hair color really stood out. He had such a high nose bridge, too. He was handsome.
After sharing a room for a while, they gradually grew closer. Mu Xu Ci asked where Wu Jinghan had gotten his hair dyed. Wu Jinghan explained that he had inherited the color from his mother, who was from Country M. He was mixed-race.
Wu Jinghan also gradually discovered just how sharp Mu Xu Ci's tongue could be.
A girl in their class deliberately struck up a conversation with Mu Xu Ci, claiming she hadn't understood a problem the teacher had explained. Mu Xu Ci said, "If you couldn't even understand the teacher, what makes you think I can teach you?"
Deeply wounded, the girl ran off.
When the weather got too hot, Wu Jinghan would bring Mu Xu Ci iced drinks. More than once, Mu Xu Ci said he would take Wu Jinghan to work at his family's company after graduation. As his roommate, he would get double the salary.
Wu Jinghan's attentiveness toward Mu Xu Ci went far beyond that. With a personality so completely at odds with his looks, Mu Xu Ci was something of a campus legend. Everyone said that the third-year Mu in the finance department had a beautiful face and a vicious tongue—listening to him could piss off the dead enough to bring them back to life.
